Beano, Gas EX, suggestions?
« on: December 09, 2011, 06:58:23 AM »
Have had decent results with both Beano and Gas Ex but for the cost not so sure they are worth it cause they dont completely eliminate gas.

Anyone have other suggestions or remedies for protein farts?

Digestive enzymes help some people.

There are different kinds of enzymes for different food sources:
Lipase - fats
Amylase - starches
Lactase - dairy
Protease - proteins
Bromelain - meat-based proteins

You can also try exercising portion control by consuming smaller quantities over more feedings, which often helps with digestion/absorption. For instance, try sipping your protein shake over 20 minutes as opposed to slamming it in 20 seconds - if that's what you do now.

Also, probiotics like Acidophilus may be beneficial; you can get probiotics from yogurt, too.
